Several tools exist to optimize the layout of the service model and how it is organized. Different types of service models require different layouts to best visualize the relationships and hierarchy. You can adjust the layout type to best fit the structure of your service model, and you can adjust the layout mode to specify the level of automated adjustment to perform to the model layout (according to the selected layout type) when you add items.
To adjust the overall service model layout type, click the Apply Automatic Layout 
icon and select one of the following:
Emphasizes clusters that are present in a network's topology.
Arranges objects in horizontal rows and vertical columns.
Emphasizes relationships among objects by placing them at different levels, like an organizational chart at a company. This is the default when you build services from scratch.
Minimizes bend points by arranging objects horizontally and vertically, at 90 degree angles.
Emphasizes symmetries that are present in a service's topology. This is the default for newly discovered services. It is also the fastest and yields the smallest topologies.
The layout adjusts to the selected type.
To adjust the layout mode, right-click an empty area in the Topology view, select Layout Mode, and select one of the following:
Note: Any layout mode adjustment always adheres to the selected layout type.
Performs an automatic layout adjustment on the whole model chart after every new item that you add to a model.
Performs an automatic layout adjustment after every new item that you add to a model while minimizing the amount of movement.
Performs no automated layout adjustment. When you drag and drop an item into the model, the item is placed at the drop point, and relationships establish accordingly. When you add an item using the right-click menu or drop an item directly on a parent item, the Modeler uses a fixed location relative to the target parent item.
